Pilots Forum / AWOS on UNICOM
« Last post by Jay Lawrence on July 10, 2020, 07:05:48 AM »Hello:
After a recent nav update, it seems some smaller airfields have added an AWOS system, but using 122.8, which of course is VATSIM Unicom. So, when I fly in certain areas, I get the automated weather for nearby fields. This prevents me from using unicom at all.
I can shut off the voice, but the sim still scrolls the AWOS Message across the screen. There is no option to disable the crawl. What's more, the sim overrides the audio from vPilot when these AWOS messages are coming in, so I can't hear anything else.
Two examples are KEPM and KMVM, which of course makes flying the Bay of Fundy a challenge.
I am hoping the solution is not edit each offending airport with an airport editor. I tried that (ADE) with negative results.
Using FSX. (Don't judge, waiting for FS2020
Anyone run into this and if so is there a solution?
